Support » Plugin: BackUpWordPress » Great features but degradation of server speed.

  • I’d be happy to give this Plugin 5 stars if I can be proposed with a solution to prevent the severe speed degradation our sites experience when this Plugin is activated.

    Otherwise I think this is a great Plugin and it does exactly what it says.

    Thanks for the review,

    Could you expand on exactly what happens in terms of the performance issues you are experiencing. Is it only when you are actually running a backup? Or does just having the plugin activated slow things down?

    Hey Tom,

    Gladly. Immediately after the Plugin is enabled the website’s performance slows. Page loads are 3-10 seconds. Sometimes not loading at all.

    Hmm,

    Have you done any sort of of digging as to why the pages are running slowly? I haven’t had other reports of this (and the plugin is used on a lot of sites) and it doesn’t actually load any code at all on the front-end (only in wp-admin) so I’m not sure how it could be causing your site to slow down.

    If you want to drop me an email at tom@hmn.md I’ll happily help you debug the issue some more.

    Hey Tom,

    A few days after the Plugin was uninstalled we started experiencing other performance issues. Although I’m confident I saw a major performance dip when it was active, I’m trying to confirm it wasn’t because there is something amiss with our server first.

    I’m hoping to have it figured out before the end of the week. In the mean time I’ll update my review to 5 stars.

    Thanks!
